Hubot's github-pull-request-notifier.coffee

hubot

Solution

Add more explanation for @MikeKusold 's answer

The `curl` command is to create the github hook, therefore it is set hook to the receiver for the notification.

"config": {
  "url": "http://example.com/webhook",
  "content_type": "json"
}

The hook is the hubot plugin, so the url path is defined in that script, see line

robot.router.post "/hubot/gh-pull-requests", (req, res) ->

Below two lines in that scripts tell you what is after the path, it has parameters `room & type`

user.room = query.room if query.room
user.type = query.type if query.type

Hubot itself define the port number, it route the path to the plugin as it requested, check this part in robot.coffee, the default port is `8080`

Therefore the URL is like below

http://<your hubot sever>:8080/hubot/gh-pull-requests/?room=<room>&type=<type>

Actually you can use `curl` command to test it towards hubot directly first.

Problem

I recently got a hubot setup for irc and works fine. I'm trying to add this script. I'm not entirely understanding the setup instructions however. The setup instructions read ``` curl -H "Authorization: token <your api token>" \ -d '{"name":"web","active":true,"events":["pull_request"],"config":{"url":"<this script url>","content_type":"json"}}' \ https://api.github.com/repos/<your user>/<your repo>/hooks ``` I don't understand what the `"url":"<this script url>"` refers to. Anyone know? I'm deploying to heroku if that helps.
